I listen a lot on HF with my iPad and web SDR service. Works very good. Have a nice weekend, 73 PaulPaul Stam PAØKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472039726489965017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548380364501168080.post-11710179429396525282014-02-03T17:12:50.507-05:002014-02-03T17:12:50.507-05:00Hi Paul,

The one with no dial. My parents had a party-line. There was an alive and breathing operator at the main switchboard who asked "number please". Of course provided the other party-line subscribers were not heard chatting when the receiver was first lifted. I seem to recall we having a 3-digit phone number. <br /><br />No marketing calls at any time of day!
